Sensazione di Lava

Stef Yim, an Asian-American who, after having refined himself as a sommelier in Los Angeles and aware of wine-making experiences in California and France, becomes an oenologist and founds Sciara Agriculture Company. He finds his credo in the uniqueness of the Etna volcanic soil so much so that he wants to push himself ever closer to the crater. On the north-eastern, north-western and south sides of the mountain Etna, the vineyards, some of which are over a hundred years old, are naturally arranged in bush form. The company also owns the highest red grape vineyard in Europe, located at about 1500 metres.

Vines from fifty to over eighty years old on soil of volcanic ash, rocks and sands at altitudes between 930 m and 960 m.

Surreal characteristics of the nose reminiscent of rose, wild mint, mushroom and wet stone in a rain forest. The transparent texture of the month seems to elaborate the flavors of mountain berries & flowers. The wine has the purity that the soil sincerely expresses.
